Muffin is a 10 week old micro baby chi!
He came to us last week for vaccines, but his mom brought him back urgently because he was crying whenever he needed to defecate and was vomiting for the past 3 days.
Upon exam, we found him to have an inguinal hernia. His hernia was big enough to have his abdominal contents slip through the hernia.
On X-rays we found him to have eaten bones that was stuck in his colon!
We anesthetized him for surgical repair of his hernia, neuter, and manual removal of the bone from his colon.
His mom has no idea where Muffin found the bone. However, she said she’s going to watch him like a hawk moving forward since she now knows he’s naughty around bones!
Muffin is very lucky to not have his intestines rip or have a blockage from the bones he ate.
Muffin and his mom were so thankful and we’re so happy we could help him the same day.
Thank you to our rockstar staff for going above and beyond!❤️
